(RANTOUL)---The Rantoul Chamber of Commerce has announced some of the participants of August 7ths job fair. That fair takes place just a month after 500 workers at the Collins and Aikman Plant found out theyd lose their jobs. Over 75 businesses have already signed up for the job fair and some of them include companies like Con-Air, Meadow Brook Farms and Plastipak. Chamber of Commerce officials say theyve taken calls from companies all over central Illinois and as far away as Tennessee. Theyve even had to turn some businesses away because they simply dont have the room. Chamber of Commerce director Joe Bolser says this large response shows just how resilient Rantoul really is. "Weve all come together on the same page to make this work and Im going to tell you what, its been phenomenal." Says Bolser. The business that cant make it, will still have a presence at the fair as their information will be available. The fair is scheduled for Tuesday August 7th from 12pm-6pm at the Precision Aviation Hanger.
